I have to wait to see if this phlox gets bigger in time. Has not in the first year.Doesn't seem to have a lot of problems with the mildew . It is the last of my phlox to bloom . Started the other day with one. It is a pretty color and I am glad that it actually is some sort of orange....Hope to be pleased next year..

I love this one the color is amazing. I don't think there is any picture that can do it justice. So far the heat doesn't seem to bother it.

The color depends on growing conditions: under ideal circumstances, true orange can be achieved. There may be some salmon or fuchsia in it. Seed does not come true.
